Dr. Chheda – 👶 You have a newborn. You wanna love your newborn. You’ve been waiting for your newborn. You have been planning, you have been buying, you’ve been preparing, you have nested, and now you have a newborn.

And it looks like a wrinkled mess, and you don’t really know if you like it or not cause it’s crying all the time, and it’s really demanding, and you don’t know what to do.

That’s okay. Yes, you will love your baby. Yes, it may not be instant love the minute you meet them, and that’s okay. You didn’t fall instantly in love with your partner the minute you met them – it took time.

You have to get to learn the baby. You have to get to learn the baby’s personality, and you will love the baby. You also have a lot of hormones going through you right now. You have a lot of healing you need to get done.

It’s okay, you will love the baby. It may not be an immediate reaction. If it is, that’s perfectly fine, but if you feel like “I don’t know,” it’s okay – just wait. Give it time. You will love your baby.
